One day a year with NO advertizing at all
Is that too much to hope for? I would like there to be a law passed, that one day a year no advertizing on any radio, television and internet.

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

2. I realize this might be a trite answer
but as per TV and radio just turn it off for that one day a year. I try to watch as little TV as possible because I HATE commercials. Bloody advertising is EVERYWHERE. If you live in a big city ads are plastered on any open space they can find you can't get away from the shit.

4. Or a day at work without pay
Since ads are how these otherwise free services get paid for. Your asking them to all go to work for a day without getting paid.
